iowa, ohio, virginia, north carolina and florida. so, apply all that to the battleground map and i'm going to point something out for you. if you give the president the places where he's overperforms with women, he's only one state short and let me focus op the one state. it's right behind me and it's the state where you're going to see a lot of push on the issue. in 1989, the issue of abortion got democrats the the governor's mansion. it has happened before, virginia, probably more than any other state. republicans have found themselves on the wrong side of this issue and it's cost them races in virginia and that's something they think in northern virginia, with suburban women who may be not sure about the economy, but they think they can drive a wedge there and as you see in the numbers, virginia would be enough to put them over the mark with exploiting this gender gap. >> thank you, chuck. chris? >> i think we should point out here, the polling on this issue, abortion in general, remains muttled. republicans are victims of their o

now you're looking at tougher terrain but let's say he wins this state north carolina. the president won it last time. he's getting in contention here. the president hasn't have to fight in this dynamic. he would be competing in all these states, but he doesn't have to fight in all of them. if the president could hold nevada and make it blue, it puts him on the doorstep. governor romney has to run the board of what's left. he would have to win virginia, he would have to win wis. the democrats think if they're winning ohio, they're also winning wisconsin. then you're in a battle ground where governor romney would have to win the rest of them. new hampshire would leave him just shy. point being, if the president can take ohio, it makes governor romney's math not impossible, but almost impossible. i'll give up on this one, i'm going to invest here. if this is blue, if that's blue. if the president can keep this blue, not impossible for governor romney, but almost. >> so a lot of trips to ohio no doubt and michigan as well in the weeks ahead. >> right now, romney was born i
